    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interdigitated microelectrode biosensor using the reaction between receptors and target biomaterials, the interdigitated microelectrode biosensor comprising: an insulating layer formed so as to cover all of the sensor formation area of a substrate; a first interdigitated microelectrode formed such that a plurality of first protruding electrodes are arranged in a comb shape on the insulating layer of the substrate; a second interdigitated microelectrode, facing the first interdigitated microelectrode and formed such that a plurality of second protruding electrodes are arranged in a comb shape on the insulating layer of the substrate such that the plurality of second protruding electrodes are arranged to respectively interdigitate with the plurality of first protruding electrodes formed at the first interdigitated microelectrode; and a plurality of receptors arranged in the space between the first and second interdigitated microelectrodes, which are arranged to interdigitate with each other, so as to specifically react with the target biomaterial, thereby increasing an impedance detection width and detection limit, and improving detection accuracy according to the characteristics of each monomer and each polymer.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a disease using an analysis of oligomer of an abnormal aggregated protein includes: (1) preparing a body fluid sample including at least one of blood, blood plasma, blood serum, saliva, urine, tear, and mucus; (2) making a dilution of the body fluid sample; (3) using a biosensor to measure and detect an aggregated protein in the diluted body fluid sample; (4) analyzing a signal change of the biosensor caused by the dilution of the aggregated protein to determine a slope according to the dilution from the measurements; and (5) analyzing a proportion of the oligomer from the slope according to the dilution to make a diagnosis. The method uses a biosensor to measure the impedance and the protein concentration of blood and detects the slope according to the numerical value of the monomer and the oligomer to diagnose normal or abnormal protein aggregation or the associated diseases with more accuracy.
